Abraxas - A Tribute To Carlos Santana

About

With Abraxas it's all there. The propulsive Latin percussion. The fiery lead guitar work. The keyboard wizardry. The groove that connects to the soul of the audience.

Abraxas is a group of seven world class musicians that perform a musical tribute to one of the world’s finest musicians, the Carlos Santana. Based out of Reno, NV, and Salt Lake City, UT, Abraxas has performed at festivals and concerts in the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Finland, Japan, Taiwan, the Cayman Islands, Panama, Puerto Rico, The US Virgin Islands, Jamaica, among other countries. Abraxas recreates the Santana experience in exquisite detail.

With their stunning show, you will be amazed by Abraxas' Latin Rock performance spanning five decades of Santana's hits. From the first album (Santana), the 2nd album (Abraxas) and all the way to the Ultimate Santana, with everything in between. Abraxas is beyond a tribute band, they are an awesome musical and spiritual experience as over a million people can testify.

The musicians in Abraxas immerse themselves in the awesome task of replicating Santana's music. We do this with stunning accuracy, spirit and soul. The members of Abraxas have recorded and toured with many different world class acts, and it shows when they perform their tribute to Santana. Abraxas understands the intricacies and variety of Santana's Latin and African rhythms, from the Cha Cha of Oye Como Va to the Son Montuno of Corazon Espinado. No other Santana tribute band plays them as authentically as does Abraxas.

Abraxas is recognized as the #1 Santana Tribute Band in America and is continually booked at numerous festivals across the nation and around the world because of their incredible shows. Abraxas is recognized as the #1 Santana Tribute Band in America.
